The EBSU cutoff mark is simply the minimum JAMB score you need to get into Ebonyi State University. Think of it as a gate pass to gain access to the university. If your score is up to the EBSU cutoff mark, the gate opens for you to apply; if it’s lower, the gate stays closed.
For most courses at EBSU, the cutoff mark starts at 150; however, competitive courses such as Medicine or Law have higher cutoff marks. This means that different departments have different pass marks, depending on the number of students who wish to study there.
To be safe, always try to score much higher than the cutoff mark. Just hitting the EBSU cutoff mark is okay, but beating it by a lot makes it much easier for the school to choose you over other students.
